California Gov. Gavin Newsom told ABC News he has no White House ambitions—although several California-based political advisers said that claim doesn't totally hold water.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom displays a bill he signed during a news conference in Sacramento, Calif., June 24, 2022.During the surge of the COVID-19 delta variant, California's Democratic governor sat on the glossy sound stage of "The Late Late Show" with James Corden, surrounded by Christmas lights, and slammed Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis over what Newsom called his lax coronavirus policies.
His criticism of DeSantis is one of many made over the course of the pandemic, but Newsom's recent $105,000 advertising buy that ran in Florida, certainly an unusual move for a politician who is running a reelection campaign of his own, has spun the question of presidential aspirations toward Newsom.
Still, during his remarks, he continued to speak out on national issues, criticizing what he called Republican efforts to regulate topics in the classroom: "I don't want to sugarcoat it. Education is under assault ... And we have an obligation, moral and ethical obligation, to call out what's going on as it relates to the suppression of free speech," he said.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis attends a media event regarding the 2022 Florida Python Challenge, June 16, 2022, in Miami."He's always talking about California as a nation-state. And I think he fancies himself the executive of a nation-state in some ways. And he really wants to put a stake in the ground and say California is different and better and therefore, I am different and better," said Levinson.
